Thank you, Lorelei. Mom should be back home on Feb.6, or so I hope. She had a biopsy today, but I was told she had some surgery too because her gastric pocket had a light leak so it seems they changed it. I'll know more tomorrow as I'm going to visit her. I hope she won't hurt because she was just getting used to the pocket and the button, and learning to take care of it herself.And she wants so much to have her cats back!
